HERETIX: A Hermetic, Enriched, Rare-Event Time Projection Chamber in Xenon
L. Althueser, N. Hargittai, J. Pienaar +4
Xenon-based time projection chambers have established themselves as one of the most powerful technologies for rare-event searches. HERETIX is a proposed multi-tonne liquid xenon ob…
Atmospheric muon flux suppression at potential new low-radiation underground physics laboratory in Israel
Nadav Hargittai, Igor Zolkin, Yiftah Silver +5
The residual atmospheric muon flux was measured at a candidate site for a new underground, low-radiation physics laboratory beneath the Kokhav HaYarden national park in Israel. Loc…
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Sensitivity of the XLZD Rare Event Observatory
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
The XLZD collaboration is developing a two-phase xenon time projection chamber with an active mass of 60 to 80 t capable of probing the remaining WIMP-nucleon interaction parameter…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
